While looking through Google searches trying to find factual information on late 60s/early 70s inclusive tour travel agencies (Arrowsmith, CTA, Clarksons) without too much success, followed this link, which turned out to be a selection of Ken Fielding colour images at Liverpool Airport.

All the photo's brought back a lot of memories for me especially the Sabena 707,if i remember correctly it was a div from MAN due to a strike
possibly fire service

fabulous images and great memories. Of course I remember Ken as an avid and active enthusiast and when he was employed by British eagle, I particularly remember the day the BE went bust and Ken and other staff, even though they were not now being paid, worked their butts off to help passengers, some of whom were not the kindest of people to deal with.

Strange how after all these years ago, these things can remain in your mind, waiting to be jogged to the forefront.

An interesting collection for sure.
Amongst the older(late 60s)shots are a smattering from a good few years later.The first Viscount fully painted in the initial BA colours must have been 73/74?
What event would have brought the BCal DC-10? I can't imagine they got Tens before the late 70s.I recall they were years behind Laker in doing so.
It's a pity these fine images are not captioned.

The BCal was a Grand National Day charter, if I recall correctly - sometime around 1984?

Having taken a closer look, and consulted my logs, I am 99% certain I am sitting in the pilot's seat on G-AEML. (Only one seat up front.) Could be Jim Keen giving me some instruction. According to my log, I flew the machine home from a trip to Blackpool, with other flying club members.

Fantastic pictures from a fantastic time to be a enthusiast- would like to get a time machine to take me back to those days. Thanks for sharing.
